You know it gets hot here in the South pretty early, sometimes even in March! We tend to move away from soups and braised meats and start looking toward lighter meals like salads, grilled chicken, and those fresh, gorgeous summer vegetables that we know are just around the corner.
Here in Georgia, we are fortunate to have a steady supply of fresh strawberries. We get the ones from Florida first, and by the time those taper off, the ones in Georgia will start ripening. This may be why I have lots of strawberry recipes on this site!
Here are a few of my favorite salads to enjoy during the beautiful springtime and on into summer as well.

Strawberry Salad
This summer strawberry salad is bursting with freshness from strawberries, tomatoes, basil and easy balsamic glaze.
A fresh arugula and pear salad with crisp cucumbers, goat cheese, nuts, and pomegranate seeds, finished with a honey-Dijon vinaigrette made with Rosé Balsamic vinegar. Quick to assemble and best served right away while the greens stay crisp.
